Legal Services Commission

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:42): Supplementary: are those discussions proceeding to a budget bid or an out-of-budget bid, and is the Legal Services Commission satisfied?

The PRESIDENT: You referred to the discussions, Attorney.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:42): I will have to go away and find an exact answer to the honourable member's question. If my memory serves me correctly, there has been provision for complex and expensive cases—that I think include Ironside—for the Legal Services Commission recognising just that. I will double-check that, and if I'm wrong I will bring back an answer for the honourable member.
